S.Africa: Hijack terror – Wild West shootout – kids run for cover

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Hijack terror – Wild West shootout – kids run for cover

A Wild West shootout between police and hijackers forced residents in the Moorton area in Chatsworth to flee indoors on Thursday. A helicopter circled above while police chased the suspects through the area.

The drama began just after 1pm when a white VW Golf was hijacked in the Pinetown area by two men.

Sergeant Vincent Mpanza, owner of the vehicle, said that his children were returning from their pre-school when the hijacking occurred outside his home in Sithole Road in Nazareth.

‘People ran inside their houses and shut their doors’
“Their teacher drives them home every day. My daughter jumped out of the car to open the gate when the two men appeared out of nowhere.”

Mpanza said the men jumped into the vehicle and forced the female driver out of the car.

“My daughter was still struggling to open the gate when the men jumped into the car. Apparently the suspect that was driving put the car into the wrong gear and knocked my daughter into the gate.

“They also threw my son out of the window,” he said.

On hearing about the hijacking, Mpanza alerted the police, who launched a search for the car and the suspects.

“They managed to track the car down in the Chatsworth area. The suspects had already changed the car’s registration plates,” said Mpanza.

A getaway vehicle had followed the hijacked car to the Chatsworth area.

Alvin Pillay, a resident of Moorton, said people in the neighbourhood became frantic when they heard the police sirens and gunshots.

“Nobody knew what was happening. It was so chaotic. People ran inside their houses and shut their doors,” he said.

“Children from the nearby high school, Asoka Secondary, were hysterical as the police patrolled the area looking for the suspects.”

Mpanza said three men were arrested.

He added that his children were taken to a hospital in Pinetown where they were treated for minor injuries and shock.
